Fantasy Football Brother's welcomes you to Week 16. In most leagues this is the final game of the season, winner takes all, second place means nothing besides the fact that you showed up. The specialty positions such as kicker and defenses has played an instrumental role in most fantasy owner's success. Those that have been riding the foot of such guys as David Akers and Mike Nugent know what I'm talking about, as well as owner's that started the 49ers defense every week. These players and units helped make up points when your skill set position players had an off day. Think Jermichael Finley's whole season here. Did your kicker or your defense make up those extra points....the safe bet is that if you are playing this weekend they probably did. So, pay close attention because... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a glance at the kickers and defensive units for Week 15. Now, more than ever points are at a premium as fantasy owner's make their way through the minefield that is the fantasy playoffs. Here's the K rankings for Week 15: 1) Sebastian Janikowski - OAK - KI, vs. Detroit Lions, Sun 4:05 PM 2) John Kasay - NOR - KI, at Minnesota Vikings, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI, at Denver Broncos, Sun 4:15 PM 4) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, at Kansas City Chiefs, Sun 1:00 PM 5) David Akers - SFO - KI, vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, Mon 8:30 PM 6) Lawrence Tynes - NYG - KI, vs. Washington Redskins, Sun 1:00 PM 7) Neil Rackers - HOU - KI, vs. Carolina Panthers, Sun 1:00 PM 8) Jason Hanson - DET - KI, at Oakland Raiders, Sun 4:05 PM 9) Robbie Gould - CHI - KI, vs. Seattle Seahawks,... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's welcomes those owner's lucky enough to be in their league's playoffs. The mission is far from over....if you have a bye, take stock of your team and look ahead and see if there are any moves you can make to better your team. If you are out of the Playoffs, stay out of the way. Don't be that owner that interferes in your league's final weeks just to be a thorn in the side of an owner who may have bested you through a trade or knocked you out of playoff contention. Trust me, I've seen friendships lost over things like this. Here are the K Ranks for Week 14: 1) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI, at Washington Redskins, Sun 1:00 PM 2) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, vs. Oakland Raiders, Sun 1:00 PM 3) John Kasay - NOR - KI, at Tennessee Titans, Sun 1:00 PM 4) David Akers -... read more

  Fantasy Football Brother's looks at the positions no fantasy owner likes to get beat by, that is the kickers and the defensive units. Last week Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski put on a clinic. Fantasy owner's were kicking themselves (pardon the pun) for leaving this guy on their waivers, or maybe you were one of the unfortunate feeling his wrath last Sunday as you eyed the score constantly going up in increments of three. On a side note, has any player contributed more to his team than Janikowski throughout the years? Who said Al Davis drafted only speed? Davis drafted a left-footed Polish kicking mule who can stretch the field in the kicking game. Here are the Kicker Rankings for Week 13: 1) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, at New York Giants, Sun 4:15 PM 2) John Kasay - NOR - KI, vs. Detroit Lions, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Dan Bailey -... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's looks at the Kickers and Defensive/Special Teams units for Week 10. This is a final rank for the week and there are no teams on byes this week. Remember that Thursday night football starts this week, so adjust your rosters accordingly. A friendly reminder to our readers: If you are carrying two kickers and two defenses on your squad, you are losing value down your roster. Why not take a chance on a player who could help you out at a postion you are thin at? Think Antonio Brown here. Here are the final ranks for Week 10: 1) David Akers - SFO - KI, vs. New York Giants, Sun 4:15 PM 2) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, vs. Minnesota Vikings, Mon 8:30 PM 3) Nick Novak - SDC - KI, vs. Oakland Raiders, Thu 8:20 PM 4) Jason Hanson - DET - KI, at Chicago Bears, Sun 1:00 PM 5) Alex Henery -... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a look at the Kickers and Defensive Units heading into the Week 9 tilts. Remember, if you haven't adjusted your roster, these are the bye teams this week along with their star kickball players: Detroit Lions-Jason Hanson Carolina Panthers-Olindo "Shank" Mare Jacksonville Jaguars-Josh Scobee Minnesota Vikings-Ryan Longwell Here are the Week 9 Kicker and Defensive Unit Ranks: 1) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, at San Diego Chargers, Sun 4:15 PM 2) Dan Bailey - DAL - KI, vs. Seattle Seahawks, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI, vs. New York Giants, Sun 4:15 PM 4) John Kasay - NOR - KI, vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sun 1:00 PM 5) Neil Rackers - HOU - KI, vs. Cleveland Browns, Sun 1:00 PM 6) David Akers - SFO - KI, at Washington Redskins, Sun 1:00 PM 7) Sebastian Janikowski - OAK - KI, vs. Denver Broncos, Sun 4:05 PM 8) Robbie Gould - CHI - KI, at Philadelphia... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a look at the glorified soccer players and defensive units in Week 8. On a side note, if you haven't played FIFA '12, you really don't know what you are missing. It's one of the better sports games made in my opinion. The top 3 kicker's this week are the grandfather's of kicker's. It's safe to say they have been kicking for an average of about 20 years in the NFL. Okay, maybe not that much, but these guys have been around the block. The Baltimore Ravens are our top ranked D/ST heading into Week 8 and we'll see if they can actually outscore the anemic offense this week. By the way, was that one of the ugliest NFL games outside of the Seattle vs. Cleveland game? Here are the Kicker Ranks: 1) David Akers - SFO - KI, vs. Cleveland Browns, Sun 4:15 PM 2) John Kasay - NOR - KI,... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a look at the Kicker and Defensive Unit Rankings for Week 7.

Also, along with that the following D/ST's are on byes this week: Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, N.Y. Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers. If you are looking for bye week fillers, there is some value to be found throughout the ranks, such as the Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, and the Cleveland Browns. Here are the K Rankings for Week 7 1) Dan Bailey - DAL - KI, vs. St. Louis Rams, Sun 4:15 PM 2) John Kasay - NOR - KI, vs. Indianapolis Colts, Sun 8:20 PM 3) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, at Minnesota Vikings, Sun... read more
